Ford Ranger vs Mitsubishi Triton vs Toyota Hilux Comparison

Ford, being one of the pioneers in making lifestyle premium pickup trucks, definitely knows a thing or two in making good looking pickup trucks. The Ranger, with its all American brute looks, indeed looks macho and muscular, especially at the front. The frontal looks shared with the Ford Everest SUV looks intimidating.

In addition to the exterior design, even the interior cabin of the Ford Ranger feels plush and solidly built. While the instrument console in the Ford Ranger feels quite comprehensive and futuristic, the presence of some of the premium features shared with the Ford Everest indeed makes the Ford Ranger a happy place to be in.

A pickup truck deserves a powerful heart to give it a go anywhere ability, and the Ford Ranger is blessed with one. Powered by a 2.2-litre diesel engine shared with the Everest, the Ranger feels mighty on road with an adequate punch to go on and off the road with equal prowess – something which is assisted by the fantastic four wheel drive as well.

Putting all the pickup trucks together, the Mitsubishi Triton happens to be the sleekest looking of all of them. The front horizontal grille, with the chrome garnish tapering down towards the fog lamps, give a sharp character to the front fascia of the Triton, thus making it look very different from all other bulky looking pickups.

With a robust chassis under its skin and Mitsubishi’s prowess in off-road vehicle engineering, the Triton has been bestowed with an excellent four-wheel-drive system. The system is also very handy to use, thanks to the rotary-style knob on the centre console.

For a pickup truck, the Mitsubishi Triton is generously equipped with some really nice and premium features, which are generally found in luxury SUVs. Features like full LED headlamps, cruise control, touchscreen infotainment system with Apple Carplay and Android Auto and roof-mounted AC vents do give the Mitsubishi Triton a premium appeal of a midsize SUV.

The previous generations of Toyota Hilux have built up a huge stature for themselves when it comes to unshakable reliability, with tough build quality all over it. Thankfully, that very trait has been passed to this very version of the Toyota Hilux as well, with the current generation model possessing even tougher in feel body panels.

Compared to the previous generations of the Toyota Hilux which were blamed for not being modern and impressive in their looks in and out, the current generation model manages to solve that problem to a huge extent. The Hilux looks quite butch on the outside, and at the same time, the interior cabin layout shared with that of the Fortuner SUV give the Hilux some premium feel on the inside as well.
